Thanks for the info.

Yes, we are doing a "point in time" restore.

Zoltan,

If you start a restore to another box from the gui, you'd have a
restartable restore on the server. That blocks that filespace from
backing up until the restore is finished. If you started from the cmd
line, the same would happen unless you used the -pittime or some other
option that kept it from being a restartable restore. In that case, the
backup would go ahead during the restore. I think in that case, that the
backup marking files inactive wouldn't interfere because you'd already
be restoring only inactive files. The problem with doing that is that it
takes maybe three times longer because of the additional processing.
